I have to say I like Blue up. I started running it two weeks into pct from a MethylDrol cycle (not my first cycle). Libido came back MUCH faster then it did on the previous cycle.

-More potent than 'Tribex 500', the so called king of testosterone boosters!
-Genuine Bulgarian Processed Material
-The only proven Tribulus Terrestis used in Scientific Studies
-Scientifically Proven to increase Natural Testosterone Levels
-Increase Strength and Stamina
-Accelerate Protein Sythesis

The Truth

There are literally dozens of tribulus products on the market that promote themselves as testosterone boosters and sex drive enhancers. Most also quote references which were found on scientific studies conducted on Bulgarian Tribulus cultivated in conjunction with the Bulgarian Pharmaceutical Group and quote active ingredients as found in the Bulgarian Tribulus Extract. The funny thing is that none of the materials used in these tribulus products are Bulgarian Tribulus, nor have they ever had scientific studies performed on their products. Some companies even claim that their material is from Bulgaria, even though it is not the Tribulus Extract as used by Bulgarian Pharmaceutical Group. German Tribulus extract is claimed to be from plants grown in Bulgaria. This is no way related to the genuine Bulgarian Extract. ASN - Advanced Sports Nutrition is proud to announce that we are the only non Bulgarian company in the world to use exclusively the genuine proprietary extract from Bulgarian Tribulus Terrestris as developed by Chemical Pharmaceutical Research Institute of Bulgaria. This product has been named Tribestanol Pro and derives its name from the original Bulgarian material which was used by European Olympic Athletes to increase their strength and performance. Tribulus Terrestris L. Zigophyllaceae has for a while now been a popular folk medicine of the Oriental countries and Bulgaria as a medicinal plant in the treatment of sexual deficiency. The active components have been found to be steroid saponins of furostanol type, in which two dominating furostanol bisglycosides have been identified as protodioscin and protogracillin. These two furostanols alone give tribulus its properties of being able to increase testosterone levels. Only extracts high in these two furostanols will enable increased testosterone while maintaining hormonal balance.
An imbalance in one of the active furostanols will cause side effects associated with increased hormonal levels. Therefore, tribulus products claiming increased high levels of protodioscin may indeed act the same as other simulating testosterone enhancers by activating feedback mechanisms which in turn cause undesired side effects.

What makes an effective Tribulus Product

To have an effective Tribulus product, a few guidelines must be adhered to. First, you must have the right extract from the proper herb variety. That's why at ASN we have sourced the highest grade material available from Bulgaria. Next, the material must be safeguarded against absorbing moisture. From Bulgaria, the material is shipped in vacuumed sealed containers to our state of the art packaging facility. There it is encapsulated in a controlled environment to minimise any moisture from degrading the product. It is then packed with a moisture absorbing ingredient to preserve the potency of the product. The extract of the Tribulus should be as such to be formulated to allow retention of the active ingredients for longer in your system and to prolong the intake even if there are almost immediate results. As with all ASN - Advanced Sports Nutrition products, there is a 100% money back guarantee on the potency and purity of all of our products.

Using the Right Herb

A number of companies claim that they are using the Bulgarian Tribulus and sell their product for around $30au. To think that 1 kg of Bulgarian Tribulus costs over 20 times this much, one would think how you would make a profit. You can't, it is impossible. They will even elaborate on the cultivation methods, even if it is a wild plant. Tribulus Terrestris also goes by other names. It is also known as Puncture Vine, Small Caltrops, Goats Head, Ghota Gokhru, Bhakri, Hamabashi or Chilli. Tribulus materials from around the world have been tested and it is obvious that most of the raw materials and preparations contain different amounts of the active furostanol saponins. There are around 7 main manufactures of the Tribulus materials including Bulgaria, in which the saponin levels of the other 6 are much less than the Bulgarian preparation.

Tribestanol and the Athlete

Tribestanol is a non-hormonal phytochemical preparation which has an effect on the hormonal balance in the body. In males it enhances Lutenizing Hormone and Testosterone, while in women it enhances FSH ( Follicle Stimulating Hormone ) and Estradiol while only mildly effecting Testosterone levels. Simultaneously, these increased hormonal levels also increase sexual function and libido. In increasing Testosterone, Tribestanol has shown a general stimulating action such as motor activity, muscle tone, restorative tonic for vigor, vitality and stamina. For this reason Tribestanol is suitable and successfully applied in bodybuilding and other strength sports such as sprinting and weight lifting. Toxicological studies, teratogenic and carcinogenic investigations have concluded the material used in the Tribestanol product has a very good tolerance and no undesired side effects. An important feature in the pharmacodynamics of Tribestanol is the evidence that it regulates the body hormonal balance without any interference with its functional mechanisms. What this means is that there is no aromatization to other hormones because of an imbalance and increase in testosterone. Normally the body has a feedback mechanism in which, if a hormone is too high, the body will slow production and try to rebalance levels by 'aromatizing' or changing that hormone into its opposite. Tribestanol seems to increase testosterone levels but at the same time tells the body that all hormonal levels are normal. This in turn gives it all of its unique features of increasing sports performance and muscle growth because of the increased levels of testosterone, but with no side effects as with other testosterone enhancing products. Another advantage is that because it is a non-hormonal phytochemical preparation, with no relationship as being a testosterone derivative, it is not banned by the IOC and other sporting bodies. Tribestanol has passed all the drug tests on every competitive level. Because of its safety and desirable benefits, this is great dietary supplement for every level of physical activity.

How to use Tribestanol for Maximum Results

Scientific Studies that have been performed on the preparation used in Tribestanol have found it should have an immediate result in raising Testosterone levels. It was found that sex drive is also increased on the 2nd and 3rd day. Then that will fade away and come back around the 8th to the 10th day and the improvement will continue until an optimum level is reached. Tribestanol should be taken every day for 12weeks. The typical dose is 3 capsules daily (750 mg) for people under 70kg approx. 160 lbs and 6 capsules daily (1500 mg) for people over 70kg. Tribestanol is active in the body for approximately 8 hours, So you need to take it 3 times per day to ensure that your body continually releases luteinizing hormone, which results in testosterone production. Testosterone levels can be elevated safely by as much as 40% without any negative side effects.
After a 12-week cycle, you should stop taking it for 2 weeks because the body will begin to recognize that Tribestanol has been sending a "false signal" indicating that the body should produce more testosterone. Your body doesn't really need to produce extra testosterone but Tribestanol causes it to any way. Once you have used Tribestanol for 12weeks, the body will no longer continue to produce excessive testosterone. However, after ceasing the use of Tribestanol for only 2 weeks, the body will respond to it again. The 12weeks-on, 2 weeks-off schedule can be continued indefinitely.

A Final Note:

Even though we do not support the use of drugs which artificially simulate increased hormonal levels, for those who have used these drugs, they may have found they have some undesirable side effects. The good news is that Tribestanol can counteract side effects associated with these drugs after their use has been ceased. One of the big problems with using drugs that artificially increase your hormonal levels is that it completely shuts down your own hormonal production and causes problems with undesired side effects. These include aromatization to undesired hormones which cause balding, breast development (gyno), shrinking of the genitals, oily acme infected skin, increased toxicity of the liver and zero libido. It has been found that the Tribestanol preparation can restore and rebalance hormonal levels back to normal and recover the reproductive system, as a result of using these toxic substances. Tribestanol is therefore an ideal supplement to take for those who are suffering from P.S.D ( Post Steroid Disease).

Chronic masturbation?

Nah being serious, why do you feel you need a T booster? Is your diet and training in check? How old are you? There are many variables to consider first, they are not magical.

**hmrthr1** · 05-12-2006, 09:50 AM

check out the NHA stacks for sure. Bloute's NHA stack is sweet

**young_squatter** · 05-12-2006, 11:03 AM

Look into fenotest and NHA stack.

**AlbinoGerbil** · 05-12-2006, 11:30 AM

I have to say I have had good results from Blue Rhino. I haven't tried the Blue Up yet but I have two bottles waiting for my next GB/WB stack.

**Bloute** · 05-12-2006, 12:10 PM

Activate + ATD + ThermoLife Tribosten is the best test booster you could get.

**Smokem** · 05-12-2006, 12:27 PM

I have a low test level. My doc had me on androgel. I was told to look for otc stuff. So like the topic starter I am interested in what brand everyone would reccomend. I have been looking at the Universal, BSN, and MHP brands.
